The Great Escape

Original Oil Painting on Raw Gallery Linen

122cm x 122cm

Cool, calm and collected, this painting is an attempt to capture that self-assured, Amelia Earhart, young female aviator feeling.

The denim pants were a delight to paint and re-creating the black, leather Aviation cap is like chatting with an old friend.

The  young , local woman who posed for this painting offers to us well, that sense of self-assured confidence.

As the finished painting was revealed to the model and her mother, the mood of the room quickly shifted to tears! it turns out that this young lady is in fact, leaving home and moving overseas.
